I hope not as that would send a signal that no one will be in before January and there have been hints that another forward/striker will be in this week. However the boy does look a very good prospect and doesn't appear to be daunted by having to lead the goal scoring department.

It doesn't matter what number you wear! He could be 99, 19, 29 ect and still be our striker. You don't always use your GK with 1 on the shirt do you! If he plays with the ability he has shown before we will have a good goal scorer on the books.

I agree but I knew a League Club Manager who always told me his attitude was to give his first choice players 1-11 in the belief they knew they were first choice and the others knew they had to work harder to displace those wearing 1-11. His belief was that those players after 11 would knuckle down and those before 11 would work hard to keep those shirts therefore he would have a keen squad. He became a very successful manager and had a long career. I think it's a philosophy that still has a place in Football today.

Just excited for the lad and for us, we would never have attracted a player like Morris with Wilder or Waddock at the helm this season. One more striker in before the transfer window (or this weekend, a little birdy has said) and we have a really decent squad. Let's not forget that we have a really good crop of young lads there now and add to that a bit of experience, we could be looking at having a good season. Looking forward to seeing the ruffles and Collins partnership grow and in Morris now we have a lad that can finish, has pace and is the perfect foil for Hylton. Buzzing for Saturday... Coyy's!!!!

although the lad morris has obviously got lots of ability i dont think we should expect too much from him too soon . some of the c,backs he will be up against in div2 are pretty uncompromising and cynical and a far cry from youth football. he looks a big stong lad but he wont find it easy,and its a lot of responsibility on his young shoulders.

Another loan player? so what do we do in 6 months time if we're on a roll - wave goodbye to the players that have got us in a good position? This is not what I thought the new management were about. Lots of promises not many delivered. At some point it would be great if we could get some stability and not just keep tumbling along hoping something might happen. Need a good start to the season if we are to compete with stronger teams.
